Dave at onDLP.com has noted that Vericept as a DLP solution is likely dead, since Trustwave will probably stop developing it as a product to sell and just use it as a tool in their compliance practice. That may be true. Like I said before, Vericept also has a good content monitoring solution that found favor with school districts and HR departments to augment standard URL filters. I hope things turn out well for those customers. I’m interested to hear what Trustwave plans for them.

Obviously anything is possible, but here’s a couple of things to keep in mind:
Trustwave is not just about compliance. They have separate compliance and security divisions. They are trying to ramp up the security division to it can significantly increase its profits, which means that instead of cutting products they’ll be offering new ones on top of what’s already there.
Ondlp.com is run by another DLP vendor guy, so it’s not surprising he’d try to put a negative spin on it.
